Hi,
Pretty new here as I'm new Jolla owner (after a N900 and a N9).

I really like the Jolla phone and Sailfish, and find some criticisms a bit too much. But anyway, I won't read 295 pages, so I'm asking my questions about 2 issues I've with this phone:
- wifi connections is pretty weird and inconsistent, already a known issue? With or without fix?
- I find extremely difficult to connect the phone with SFTP. My N9 didn't have such issue, connecting with SFTP was straightforward. With the Jolla, I've to try several times to get the phone connected. Here again, known issue? With or without fix?

Thanks.

Welcome Yep, some people seem to enjoy blindfolded criticism. Nothing is perfect...

1) Yes, it is a known issue and while it gets better with every update, it still is a problem. However, there is a workaround that might seem a bit odd, but I personally got used to it after just a few days of using Jolla (and it's been over 10 months now, not having almost any wi-fi issues). The workaround is to turn of your wi-fi when you leave [home/work/other public wi-fi] and turn the cellular on. When you come near to a known wi-fi again, turn the cellular off. It is almost automatic for me - having the control center in events/notification view helps a lot!

2) I have no problem with SSH connection and file access, but I admit I use fish:// instead of sftp:// (on all my devices - it has proven more stable). It should be just a matter of calling fish://nemo@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ instead of sftp://nemo@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ .

Hope it helps.

1) Yes, but I have that problem on Windows 8 and Linux desktop as well. No one seems to nail the WiFi driver writing these days...

2) No problems with that using Nautilus 3.14 on Antergos.

Thanks guys,
I'm on Fedora 20 + Gnome 3.12, so "fish" is not available, and sftp is...difficult.

Ok, just tried SFTP and it works great as well. Not sure where is the problem...

SSH works fine, otherwise?

Yes, ssh works. I don't have feedback long enough to say "well" but it works. I suspect this may come from the bad wifi.

Try to switch on the screen on the phone, otherwise it's in energy saving mode and it takes ages to respond :-)

Looks more like Webcat now so that's definetly a plus from me because I love Webcat! With this new design, chance is big that I'll switch from Webcat to sailfish-browser as main browser
